Keyless ssh access doesnt work but with ROOT user

[eduardo.andres]

Hi everybody:

I´ve a problem when configuring my ssh passwordless connection between 2 nodes os a further Oracle RAC. The problem is that i´ve tried to configure this whit root user and it works correctly, but when i try to do with oracle user, it success without error but ssh user@node date (for example) it takes me a prompt asking me for the password... :S

The methods i´ve followed was the same in root and oracle users:

- ssh-keygen -t rsa
- ssh-copy-id user@node

(The above works with root but dont with oracle)

-ssh-keygen
-scp /home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa.pub oracle@node2:/home/oracle/.ssh/authorized_keys


i´ve typed that into the two nodes (changing the destination node)

I´m very lost, because ive checked everything, permissions (.ssh folder has 600 and the files inside 700)

Can anyone help me???


Thanks you very much!!!!

(And i´m sorry for my bad english, i dont usually talk in english)


I realized i´m a boor!!! First of all, my name is Eduardo, from Madrid, and i´m newer on Centos administration, i was a Windows administrator before.

On both machines:

make sure /home/oracle is mode 700
restorecon -R /home/oracle

Also look in /var/log/secure on the server for error messages which might tell you exactly what the problem is.
